Ain't Gonna Die Tonight - Macklemore, Eric Nally

I ain’t gonna die tonight

You can’t kill me, not my spirit

History is ours tonight

The people are chanting, can’t you hear it?

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Open up the doors on 'em, we playing tonight

Bring on the marching band and turn on the stadium lights

They gonna learn from me, this is our church of The

Life of a champion, ugh, so Freddie Mercury

Sneaking into Hov concerts in nosebleeds

The Hov bein' like woah

Yeah, independent, keep killing these people and don’t sleep

Even the pigeon toed still standing on both feet, you know

It’s obvious whose night this is

Grandparent’s immigrants, couple Irish kids

Victory in my grasp, gotta fight for this

The streets are ours this evening, going undefeated

I roll the dice against the staircase, uh huh

Steak season, gotta marinate, uh huh

If I happen to die tonight, put my spirit in the stars

Bury me in the grave and carve «the history was ours»

Said I

I ain’t gonna die tonight

You can’t kill me, not my spirit

History is ours tonight

The people are chanting, can’t you hear it?

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Wake up, bitch, I ain’t dead yet

And If I was in heaven, I’d be the best dressed

My closet looking like a swap meet in Texas

And maybe it’s excess, but we ain’t cut from the same cloth, player

Talking to a boss player

Checks like a ball player

Easy money, all lay-ups

I be pissing off neighbors

Get up off my dick and get the finger like a cross-fader

I be in my lawn chair star gazing like, woo!

All praise to the most high

Your boy in his own J’s, I made it to courtside

Remember the old days and praying for co-signs

When labels offer me pay, I said that I won’t sign

I took my weakness and turned that into a weapon

And when everybody doubted me, I turned that to my leverage

So I stand up on the stage, it wasn’t planned, see it was destined

Look at fifty-thousand people with their hands into the heavens and said I

I ain’t gonna die tonight

You can’t kill me, not my spirit

History is ours tonight

The people are chanting, can’t you hear it?

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Didn’t come this far to lose

Won’t let death make a move

Might not mean much to you, but I’d die for this W

Let my life be something to prove

Every scrape, every fight, every cut, every bruise

I’ll lay it all on the line, I’ll re-write these rules

Victory in my sight, I will not lose

I ain’t gonna die tonight

You can’t kill me, not my spirit

History is ours tonight

The people are chanting, can’t you hear it?

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
